Swap Saturday

Hello Stampers! Ready to see some fabulous swaps featuring stamp sets from the new Occasions catalog? Okay then, let's start the show!

I participated in several organized swaps with my Upline group and through our Demo only website called Stampin' Connection. The swaps from today are from Rhonda Morgan's INKin' All Night Group.

This is my card, I used the stamp set called Happy Congratulations. I did some color blocking on the front of my card, something different. The base is Basic Black and I layered it with Basic Gray. Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush and Crushed Curry is one of my favorite color combos right now.

First up,  is Rhonda Morgan using Blessed Easter:

This next beauty is from Lucinda Fish and she used the Peachy Keen stamp set with the coordinating On Film Framelit Dies:

Next is Dana Taylor and she also used the Happy Congratulations stamp set with the Watercolor Wonder DSP:

Sheri Stansbarger created this great graduation card using the Pomp & Circumstance stamp set:

Next we have Anne Howe using the stamp set People Like You:

This simple beauty is from Diana Gibbs, she used the stamp set Peaceful Petals:

And last, but certainly not least, featuring the stamp set Love You to the Moon is Marlene Salvato:

Aren't they amazing swaps!! Which card is your favorite?  Can't decide.  Well, next Saturday I'll be featuring more swaps! 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you have a great weekend.  Until next time. 

Tricky Treats...

Hello friends!  I know, it's been a long time since I've posted anything...partly because I'm still a bit overwhelmed by maintaining a blog and seeing other SU! Demo blog makes me wish mine was set up better.  But, no excuses, the only way to master something is to tackle it straight on.  So here I go...

Our new Stampin' Up! catalog was released earlier this year, the new kick off date was June 1st and amazing how quickly time is going by!  One of the perks that I enjoy about being a Stampin' Up! demo is that we can pre-order items in advance before they are released to the public.  I ordered a few new items and I've slowing starting creating with some of them.

This card is for a swap my Upline, Diana Gibbs is organizing using new stamps from the catalog.  I love Halloween, though where I live, we don't get too many trick-or-treaters.  The stamp set is called "Tricky Treats" and all the images are so cute!  You can barely tell, but the spider web is covered with shimmer spritz.  Let me know what you think!  Thanks for taking a look and wish me luck as I continue this blogging adventure!
